CURRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, and the paprika; set aside.
• Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the apple and onion to the melted butter, season with the curry powder, and cook and stir until the apple and onion are tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir the mushroom soup and half-and-half into the mixture until completely combined; spoon over the chicken pieces.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 75 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 180 degrees F (82 degrees C).

CHEF JOHN'S SALT ROASTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Dry the outside of chicken with paper towels. Tuck the wing tips underneath the chicken and place into a large oven-safe skillet. Use scissors to snip off the tail, if desired.
• Generously sprinkle kosher salt into the cavity and over the back and sides of chicken. Tie chicken legs together with kitchen twine. Sprinkle salt generously over the breasts, coating them thoroughly. Wipe excess salt out of skillet with paper towels.
• Bake chicken in the preheated oven until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into a thigh, not touching bone, reads 160 degrees C (70 degrees C), 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from skillet to a serving platter and let rest 5 to 10 minutes.
• Blot about 90 percent of the chicken fat from the skillet with a paper towel held with tongs, leaving the browned bits of food in the skillet. Place skillet over medium-high heat and add thyme leaves. Cook and stir until thyme is wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour lemon juice, chicken broth, and water into skillet, stirring until the browned bits dissolve and the sauce has reduced by about half, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low, add cold butter, and stir until butter has begun to melt. Add any accumulated juices from the chicken to sauce and continue to stir until butter is incorporated and sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. Spoon sauce over chicken to serve.

CURRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups water with rice in heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer over low heat, cooking a total of 17 minutes, until water has evaporated and rice is cooked.
• Meanwhile, wash, dry and cut the chicken into small chunks.
• Heat the oil in nonstick skillet and cook the chicken until it begins to turn golden. Remove and set aside.
• Meanwhile, chop the onion, mince the garlic, and saute them in the pan with the cumin, fennel, coriander, turmeric, ginger and pepper until the onion begins to soften.
• Meanwhile chop the carrots into very small pieces; wash, dry, trim and chop the tomato into small pieces. When the onion is soft, add the carrots, the tomatoes and the tomato paste and cook quickly until the carrots are soft and the liquid has been reduced.
• Cut the pineapple into enough bite-size chunks to make 1 cup; add to the sauce and return the chicken to the sauce.
• Wash, dry and chop enough coriander to make 1 tablespoon, and stir into the sauce. Serve over rice.

CURRIED CHICKEN AND LENTILS WITH BASMATI RICE

Steps:

• In a heavy pot or dutch oven heat the oil. Add onions and fennel seed. Saute over medium-high heat until the onions are translucent. Season with salt and pepper.
• Add curry paste, minced garlic, ginger root, turmeric, and cinnamon. Cook over medium-high heat for 2 minutes to let the flavors combine.
• Add chopped tomato and place the lid tightly on top. Continue to cook on medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes begin to break down and form the sauce.
• While the sauce is cooking, remove the skin from the chicken breasts, and cut each piece into chunks. I usually cut them crosswise into three large pieces, then cut each piece again, through the middle. If you don't have a knife sharp enough to do this, ask your butcher to help out with this step.
• Add the chicken pieces and stir well, making sure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce. Squeeze the lemon juice on the top. Turn the temperature to medium low and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes add drained lentil soup, cubed potatoes. Season this layer lightly with salt and pepper.
• Replace the lid, and continue to cook on medium-low for another 30-35 minutes until the chicken is done and the potatoes are fork tender.
• uncover and sprinkle with chopped cilantro. Serve over Basmati rice.
